Tuomo (born as Tuomo
Prättälä, 1979). Soul-singer, jazz pianist, composer,
lyricist and producer. Tuomo began taking piano lessons at
the age of 7. After Sibelius Senior Secondary School of
Music, Helsinki Conservatory of Pop and Jazz and the civil
service as sound engineer in the Finnish Theater Academy,
he started his career as a professional musician.
It is so retro and 'northern' in its incarnation that it
has become essential already on the more discerning
dancefloors... Highly recommendable.
– Soul
Walking
During 2002-2006 Tuomo contributed in 10 full-length albums
in 7 different line-ups. Together with his various bands he
was nominated for Jazz Emma Award for 4 times, won 2
international jazz contests, received the highly-acclaimed
Finnish Teosto Award, was The Young Artist of the Year
chosen by Finland Festivals and toured intensively all
around the world.
Sounding super authentic and true with brilliant production
skills.
– Soul Seduction
In January 2007 Tuomo released his first solo album titled
“My Thing”, which immediatelly hit Finnish Top
10 and received only rave 5-star, 4-star reviews. In the
summer of 2007 the album was distributed all over the world
and got same kind of reception everywhere. “My
Thing” is singer-songwriter music based strongly on
70s soul heritage.
Mr. Gilles Peterson, the most famous and influential DJ and
broadcaster in the world, has been a big fan of
Tuomo’s since the first single “Don’t
take it too hard” saw daylight. The song was for long
included in Gilles’ MySpace player.
In Japan, the single has reached number 5 on J-Wave’s
Tokyo Hot 100 Chart and continues to be in Top 10 on many
radio stations' playlists. First international tours are
taking place in late 2007
